April’s Sexual Assault Awareness Month is a time to focus on creating safe and thriving communities by: treating others with kindness, dignity and respect – in person and online; practicing empathy for those with different life experiences; looking out for the physical and emotional well-being of our neighbors; and honoring the rights of all people to live free from violence.  These are simple and seemingly small, everyday actions that can create ripples of positive change.
